    Defininately a powerful peace.(please exscuse the spelling) A lot of people think racism just pretains to whites alone, but in fact like you said it is a problem of all races. Ha, that's even a white stereotype, that they are the only ones who discriminate. Nice piece.

    So please I ask you nicely and sincerely
    To not compare me to slave owners who were here
    Because times have changed dramatically since then
    I'm not who white people were back in those years

    i must say this line caught my eyes it was powerful like mr rodriguez said nice work but dont let it get you down it was not you that did anything wrong so keep ya head up and i cant wait so whats next peace.... HnH

    This is very bold. It takes courage to write and post something like this, knowing it could create a backlash. This poem is very well written and flows nicely. Great job Chelsey!

    And what a brilliantly penned piece of powerful poetry...

    But I'm just a fifteen year old girl
    Who wants to be accepted like everyone else
    Who enjoys the company of any person
    Regardless of color, weight, or health

    I loved this stanza how real is that? How honest is that? How powerfully direct and correct is that stanza??
    IRegardless of whether we like to think as a society we have eradicated racism I know your right Chels I know you cop thi kind of grief quite often and I know it upsets you but there is no better way of getting your message heard that a great poem like this! Gees you make your sister proud darling.

    Keep it real girl
